2017 - 2018 Gallery Season Exhibits

The Prescott Center for the Arts Gallery is run by the all-volunteer Visual Arts Committee. This year the VAC will conduct nine themed gallery exhibits. A VAC curator team juries all artwork submitted by local Arizona artists. Each show is judged by a professional artist who chooses award-winning pieces in multiple mediums, as well as a People's Choice Award chosen by the opening night attendees. The Scholarship Exhibit, showcasing the art of Prescott's youth, is full of the work of talented young people and visual art pleasure. With so many interesting themed shows scheduled regularly throughout the year, the gallery is always a vibrant, interesting place to visit. Welcome!

Textures

August 20 – September 23, 2017

Texture in art is used to describe either the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched, or the visual "feel" of a two-dimensional work. Without texture, art lacks life and vibrancy.

Quiet Moments

January 5 - February 10, 2018

This exhibit focuses on visual representations of pausing and relaxing moments amid the busyness of daily life. It will provide viewers with a moment to just see the art and enjoy the quiet moments being portrayed.

Abstract

February 11 – March 24, 2018

Artists will exhibit a wide of styles from Art Deco to Abstract Impressionism to Pop to psychedelic to the uninhibited approach exemplified by Jackson Pollack, and more. Viewers can discover their own individual “interpretation” of the work in this show.
